Meet Monty, or more precisely Montgomery Gerald Morris. He has a nickname, a birthday - and asthma. He doesn't have a brother, a sister, a pet or a best friend. Monty spends his time working out how to do things his own way, such as finding a pet, discovering a new hobby and making friends.

Enter the Bug Buddies - Zap, Buzz, Lurch and Crunch. They would have a wonderful life if it weren't for the evil spider, Spinner. In the Beetle Ball final, the Bug Buddies are up against the great Centipede United. But could Spinner prove to be a problem once again?
